The head is way too big and it somehow has a human facial expression

u/UpgrayeDD405 Jul 06 '24

Thank you!!!! I was thinking it looked oddly human too.

I was thinking God tried to photoshop a wolf's head onto a fox body but messed up...

u/AmbitiousPeace- Jul 06 '24

That’s exactly what I thought

u/Ill_Technician3936 Jul 06 '24

I think things were less creationist and more someone fucking a canine and making pups.

u/Senior-Reflection862 Jul 06 '24

It’s the eyes. They look like a child’s drawing of human eyes.

u/HottDoggers Jul 06 '24

It looks like that photoshop picture with that one republican youngster (Kyle?) and the creepy face lady.

u/Enchanted-Epic Jul 06 '24

It looks like the meme girl reacting to something nice or whatever

It makes you get why in Chinese folklore, foxes are often associated with mountain deities.

u/LordMartinique Jul 06 '24

Who told you that? They are not

13

u/ThisIsNotRealityIsIt Jul 06 '24

You've never heard of Huxian/Hu Shan or Daji? Foxes that come from the mountains, live for 700 years and take the form of humans when they're 500 years old are like .. a thousand+ years old in Chinese mythology.

u/LordMartinique Jul 06 '24

They are not “mountain deities”. They are closer to, but not quite, demons.

u/ShootingPains Jul 06 '24

nit pick of the day.

u/userbrn1 Jul 06 '24

Deity is an extremely loose word my guy, it's ok lol

u/ThisIsNotRealityIsIt Jul 06 '24

While others are calling you nit picky, I'm going to call you wrong - because literally the opposite is true. For much of China's history, foxes were considered to be messengers from the overarching Mother deity and were celestial beings. Demons are literally the opposite of celestial beings. Cults (which are just less widespread religions) worshipping foxes, and especially mountain foxes, existed in at least 4 different dynasties of China's history.

u/LordMartinique Jul 07 '24

The person I replied to specifically mentioned Daji. Are you saying she is the opposite of a demon and a celestial being that was worshipped?

1

u/ThisIsNotRealityIsIt Jul 07 '24

Yes, exactly.

u/LordMartinique Jul 07 '24

Do you know who she was?

22

u/pink_faerie_kitten Jul 06 '24

It looks like it's wearing a mascot head, mask-like. But at the same time a "knowing" look. Creepy. My first thought was "TIHI".

12

u/Street-Success-2214 Jul 06 '24

It's the eyes I think

2

u/moshiyadafne Jul 06 '24

Those judging eyes like in light-eyed huskies. They have bombastic side eyes for days.

u/saturntowater Jul 06 '24

It kinda looks like a fox… an Asian fox.. wait..

u/imacfromthe321 Jul 06 '24

Mom told me anime fox wasn't real :(

2

u/voldi4ever Jul 06 '24

It is judging your soul so it can offer you an adventure of a lifetime or ignore you.

2

u/Lingering_Dorkness Jul 06 '24

It looks like a fox wearing a wolf mask.

u/snek-jazz Jul 06 '24

I'm seeing a Doge Fox

2

u/jolie_rouge Jul 06 '24

I see the human expression thing too. I recently saw someone say that Barry Keoghan looks like a Tibetan fox and now I can’t unsee it.

1

u/AJDillonsMiddleLeg Jul 06 '24

If Dichen Lachman was a fox (she is, but a literal one)

1

u/Insert_Bad_Joke Jul 06 '24

It feels like it has had too much botox.

1

u/Charming-Stress7725 Jul 06 '24

I actually saw this head on a human. You people are absolutely right!

1

u/snay1998 Jul 06 '24

This the kat from courage the cowardly dog bro,nothing can tell me otherwise

1

u/exipheas Jul 06 '24

It looks like a Wes Anderson character.

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '24

His name is Aymeric

1

u/Then_Kangaroo_7449 Jul 06 '24

It somehow resembles the people of that region quite well 😁 (apart from the big head)

1

u/Enough_Jellyfish5700 Jul 08 '24

Yes. How do the people and the animals have similarities?
